Fantasy
Scarlet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This would be my fantasy that
You care about me more
Than I care about you
This would be my fantasy that
You'd make things easy
And that I'd be carefree

For everyone of those alone they find
A lover for their own yeah
This would be my fantasy yeah

That the selfish would be selfless
And the loveless would be loved
And the needy would be granted
Every wish that they deserve
And the hopeless they would find hope for
All the helpless that need some light
That's what I'd like
That's what I'd like

This would be my fantasy
I'm a fly on your wall babe
I see all that you do
This would be my fantasy
There's a hotel bar with
Some naked man in my room

That those who face the end with nerve
Die with the dignity they deserve oh
This would be my fantasy yeah

That the worthless would be regal
And the rich would pay their way
And the heartless they would find heart for
All the masses who've caused them pain
And the runner-up would be famous
And that wrong would sometimes be right
That's what I'd like
That's what I'd like

This would be my fantasy that
If you're anxious you'll be laughing
If you're vulnerable you'll not be scared
If you're cheated then you'll get even
If you're ignored then you'll get heard
And if you wanna be, then you will be
And then your fantasy could be your life
That's what I'd like




That's what I'd like
This would be my fantasy

Good to see Scarlet doing more than sitting around using a soldier as a foot rest.

@tek512

At this point I'm pretty sure the degenerate half of the fanbase wants her to use them as a foot rest.

@macthek9

Ya this made me laugh 😆

@jaredfrancis5062

@Despair Embodied don't kink shame me

@paulman34340

@Sonic Technically She and Heidegger DO fight the party in a giant mech near the end of Original FF7 (This is during your return to Midgar at the end of the game and before you battle Hojo) so it's not out of left field for her to battle you in a mech in this game (plus this is happening "while the Whispers are still active", so even if Yuffie or Sonon tried to kill her after the mech was destroyed or if she looked like she was going to die in the explosion, the Whispers would have interfered to save her life as "she's not suppose to die yet!").

@NitirenRissho

@Sonic ff8 and 9 the bosses react to the guardians (named GF in ff8), unfortunately herer they don't include this.

This boss fight is awesome, the music is incredible, one of the best boss fights of FFVII Remake

@broknight9718

I never thought Nero would be the final boss and I was a bit let down to know Weiss didn't play much of a role in the game. But hopefully we will see more of DEEPGROUND in Part 2.

@davidwestin6345

So what exactly is the difference between this and the final fantasy 7 remake from a year ago?

@TheTaylorde82

@David Westin The Yuffie Content. And enhanced graphics, other than that there's Weiss's boss fight and a few more combat simulator challenges
